year, piloting the No. 36 Toyota for Bill Davis Racing (started 20th,
finished 38th). Altogether, Mayfield has 25 starts at the Monster Mile,
where he still holds the track qualifying record (161.522 mph, 22.288
seconds) which he earned in June 2004. In addition to that pole position
he holds two more, one coming in September 2000 and then again in
September 2004. He also has tallied four top-five and eight top-10
finishes. Mayfield's average finish at Dover is 18.8 and start is
16.3. Overall, he has made 427 career NSCS starts which include five
wins, nine poles, 48 top-five and 96 top-10 finishes.

Testing at Pocono: Franchitti and the No. 40 CGRFS Cup team tested at
Pocono Raceway this week along with the majority of the NSCS teams. It
marked Franchitti's first time back in the No. 40 NSCS car since he
was injured in the NNS race at Talladega Superspeedway in late April.

Reed Sorenson and the No. 41 Target Dodge Team (NSCS)

Monster Mile History: Sorenson has a solid record at the track known as
the "Monster Mile." Sorenson has appeared in four NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) starts at the 1-mile oval, with his best finish
11th in 2006. In six NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) starts, Sorenson has
three top-five finishes and five top-10 finishes.

Target wins the Indy 500: Scott Dixon concluded a successful month of May
at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as the pole sitter and winner of the
92nd running of the Indianapolis 500 in the No.9 Target Chip Ganassi
Racing (TCGR) Honda Dallara. Leading the most laps of the race (115),
Dixon remained in the top-five throughout the entire 200-lap event.
Sunday's win marks Chip Ganassi's third Indy 500 victory
(2000-Juan Pablo Montoya; 1989-Emerson Fittipaldi).

In the points: The No. 41 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS)
team gained one position in the overall NSCS owner standings, now marked
in 31st after posting a 22nd-place finish last weekend at Lowe's
Motor Speedway. With a current tally of 969, the team sits 485 points
out of 12th and 271 points away from the top 20.

Last Weekend: The No. 41 Target Dodge started 17th and finished 22nd in
the 600-mile event on Sunday night. Sorenson battled handling conditions
throughout the 400-lap event. Sorenson was one lap shy of a perfect 600
record. To date the 22-year-old has completed 1,199 out of 1,200 laps
(three starts) in the Coca-Cola 600.

Juan Pablo Montoya and the No. 42 Texaco/Havoline Dodge (NSCS)

Dover colors: Montoya's No. 42 Dodge will carry the
Texaco/Havoline logo for the second week in a row at Dover International
Speedway this weekend.

Dover '07: Montoya will be making his third NASCAR Sprint Cup
start at Dover International Speedway on Sunday. In his first Sprint Cup
race at the 1-mile track he brought his Texaco/Havoline Dodge home in the
31st position after a late-race incident. Montoya returned to the track
in September and earned his third outside pole position of the season and
went on to finish in the top 10. His average starting position at Dover
is ninth, while his average finish is 20.5.

2008 Standings: Montoya lost one position in the 2008 NSCS driver
standings after his 30th-place finish at Lowe's Motor Speedway on
Sunday. At this point last season, Montoya and the No. 42 team were
sitting 22nd in points. Montoya is now 191 points out of the 12th
position, the cut-off for the "Chase to the Sprint Cup."

Golfing for Autism: On Thursday, Montoya will play in the 7th Annual
Drive for Autism Research Celebrity-Am Golf Outing to be held at the
world-class DuPont Country Club located in the Brandywine Valley,
Wilmington, Del. The money from the golf outing will go directly to the
Autism Society of Delaware whose mission is to improve the lives of
people with autism and their families. Autism is a complex developmental
disability that typically appears during the first three years of life.
It is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the functioning
of the brain. Autism associated behaviors have been estimated to occur
in as many as 1 in every 150 births.

Testing: Montoya and the No. 42 crew are participating in the
NASCAR-sanctioned test at Pocono Raceway this weekend. It will be the
first test session for the CoT at the 2.5-mile track.

Last Race: Montoya drove his No. 42 Texaco/Havoline Dodge to a
30th-place finish in the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday at Lowe's Motor
Speedway. Montoya qualified 42nd on Thursday, but worked his way up to
18th with new Crew Chief Brian Pattie atop the pit box. Unfortunately on
lap 167, Montoya was pushed down on the grass by the No. 10 car and spun
through the grass which caused damage to the front splitter. The team
was able to repair the splitter, but the damaged Dodge fell four laps
down to the leader to finish 30th.

Dario Franchitti and the No. 40 Fastenal Dodge Team (NNS)

Franchitti is Back: After taking the last few weeks off from racing to
allow time for his ankle to heal, Dario Franchitti will climb back behind
the wheel of the No. 40 Fastenal Dodge Saturday, May 31, to compete in
the 14th NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) race of the 2008 season.
Franchitti has been on the mend since he fractured his left ankle in the
NNS race at Talladega Superspeedway in late April. He participated in
the NSCS test session at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway earlier this week, but this
Saturday will mark his first official racing effort since Talladega.
Welcome back, Dario!

At a Glance: In eight starts in the Nationwide Series this season,
Franchitti has an average qualifying effort of 14.5. His best starting
spot to date is fourth which he initially scored at Daytona in February
and then tied at Talladega in late April, which was his most recent start
in an NNS car. His average finishing position is 20th, with a best to
date being sixth at Las Vegas.

Clauson Pilots No. 81 Dodge at Dover: Franchitti's fellow Fastenal
Racing teammate Bryan Clauson will race the No. 81 Pat MacDonald Dodge
this weekend at Dover to get some extra seat time. Clauson is a member
of the Fastenal Racing Team, but will drive the No. 81 Vector Security
Dodge this weekend at Dover. Matt Chambers, a fellow CGRFS team member,
will serve as his crew chief while he also supported by a CGRFS pit crew.

CGRFS NNS Rookie Class Update: Franchitti currently holds a six-point
lead (89-83) over Clauson in the NNS Raybestos® Rookie standings.

fractured ankle, Franchitti has managed to hold on to his lead in the NNS
rookie standings. In fact, he has led for the past 11 consecutive
races. Franchitti has grabbed rookie of the race honors five times in
eight starts this season, including California, Las Vegas, Bristol,
Texas, and Phoenix. Clauson has grabbed Raybestos® Rookie of the Race
honors twice in eight starts this season, first at Daytona and then just
earlier this month at Richmond.
